You can solve your own problem by deselecting them during

They only install because they are selected by default, which IMHO
should not be done.

The only language related stuff that should be selected by default is
the detected language version of the OS itself.
It takes a minute or so, but there are two lists that you have to go
through and deselect all the dictionaries and language stuff you
don't want to install.
Two? I have only ever had to deselect all of the other dictionaries, the
language itself is usually only defaulted to install English.
Or is there another one I've been missing that accounts for why the
properties in 'Add/Remove Programs' still shows the hug string of every
single language even though I only want/need English?
For Ubuntu, the install of the DEB file [not through the repositories]
installed US English, French, and Spanish dictionaries. For other
languages, you have to install separate language files. For Windows,
you have a choice of All Languages and Multi Languages. Multi has only
the most "popular" languages that are available using LibreOffice.
Yes, the issue of needing to do a "Custom Install" to choose only the
language files/dictionaries you want, or need, can be a problem for some
users. I wish there was an option in the default install asking you if
you want any other language files other than US English.
For English dictionaries , I found; Australian, Canadian, Great Britain,
US, New Zealand, and South African versions. There are at least 26
different localized Spanish dictionaries. For my complete list [that I
have found online] go to
http://libreoffice-na.us/English/extensions.html#dict This is a very
large list and is a part of the NA Community DVD[s]. I do not know how
many of these are part of the LibreOffice install for those languages,
but these can be added through the Extension Manager.
